00:00:00,39 --> 00:00:04,15
The book football team started with three
wins this season but has not lost three

2
00:00:04,16 --> 00:00:08,66
straight and this week sports spotlight
meet talented Mustangs quarterback David

3
00:00:08,67 --> 00:00:15,15
Roddy. It's an eye
opener for an opponent's

4
00:00:15,45 --> 00:00:20,75
record junior David Roddy is sixty five and
weighs two hundred fifty pounds and has

5
00:00:20,76 --> 00:00:26,83
great quarterback skill lots of people say
enough is better but I like to compare

6
00:00:26,84 --> 00:00:32,59
my sense. It's more like him one more built
like him and then on it's part of his

7
00:00:32,60 --> 00:00:37,57
receivers have to remember Robbie is fast
and really tough to bring down so his

8
00:00:37,58 --> 00:00:42,25
scrambles can create chances downfield you
get caught sometimes sleeping and you

9
00:00:42,26 --> 00:00:48,54
really hope he comes here so he's down right
no Perry comes again. Staying alive is

10
00:00:48,55 --> 00:00:48,94
definitely

11
00:00:48,98 --> 00:00:53,93
a part of being receiver but that's often
the city I prefer it to be you know how

12
00:00:53,94 --> 00:01:00,20
we do and it's gone up how it how it's
told how to play it when I have to I can

13
00:01:00,21 --> 00:01:05,91
extend the play I'm blessed enough to make
that athletic play and they send one one

14
00:01:05,92 --> 00:01:10,59
of those receivers he throws to his David's
older brother Joshua has high praise

15
00:01:10,60 --> 00:01:15,66
for his so called Little Brother sometimes
I don't want to admit it but I think

16
00:01:15,67 --> 00:01:19,99
he's one of the best quarterbacks in the
state because the things he can do in the

17
00:01:20,00 --> 00:01:23,22
way he can extend plays and then at the
end of the play the sixty are not great

18
00:01:23,23 --> 00:01:28,60
that's out and just things like that and
I don't see anybody else our age doing

19
00:01:28,61 --> 00:01:31,05
those kind of things on a
kid on that consistent of

20
00:01:31,06 --> 00:01:34,18
a basis Josh admits it
wasn't always easy having

21
00:01:34,19 --> 00:01:38,72
a younger brother get so much attention
for his athletic exploits I'm going to be

22
00:01:38,73 --> 00:01:45,65
on it in the past and it did sting. And
then I kind of realize that you know

23
00:01:45,77 --> 00:01:50,99
it's not just like me not being good enough
it's that he is just one in a once in

24
00:01:51,00 --> 00:01:56,55
a while spectacular athlete he works
closely with Rakoff unsupported or Marcus

25
00:01:56,56 --> 00:01:59,10
Harris former star at Brooklyn Center and

26
00:01:59,11 --> 00:02:04,64
a coffee. When I received her at the
University of Wyoming you know I very close we

27
00:02:04,65 --> 00:02:05,08
joke around

28
00:02:05,09 --> 00:02:10,49
a lot but in serious times you can be
serious you know he lets me hear the truth

29
00:02:10,61 --> 00:02:15,52
first and he will always be the first one
to congratulate me on something I did

30
00:02:15,53 --> 00:02:19,66
right so you know who's the kids are great
what role model most of the stuff he

31
00:02:19,67 --> 00:02:25,69
does that amazes me is the camera practice
he does the one hand catches that just

32
00:02:25,70 --> 00:02:32,35
would. Make your head spin this
amazing So he's definitely.

33
00:02:33,82 --> 00:02:38,52
An incredible athlete and I would argue
with anyone that possibly best in the state

34
00:02:38,68 --> 00:02:43,03
he's fun to work with Rod he's become a
very good football player but it's not

35
00:02:43,04 --> 00:02:47,42
a sure thing that says Bass
store favorite sport he's also

36
00:02:47,43 --> 00:02:52,14
a pretty unstoppable force on the basketball
court right now I have equal of for

37
00:02:52,15 --> 00:02:56,31
most words you know during the football
season on this past Monday and that's what

38
00:02:56,32 --> 00:03:00,71
isn't on this football so it's just just
because hand in hand right now there's no

39
00:03:00,72 --> 00:03:06,37
really I'm superior sports. David's drawing
some interest from college recruiters

40
00:03:06,38 --> 00:03:11,72
in both sports stats and contact with
football program I've had a few interest

41
00:03:11,77 --> 00:03:18,64
a few invites to the well again just
recently that in Minnesota I have. Visiting

42
00:03:18,65 --> 00:03:22,90
Wisconsin and also visiting you know it's
part of state record coach John Martin

43
00:03:22,91 --> 00:03:27,34
says college coaches can see Roddy's gifts
on film but they want to know more about

44
00:03:27,35 --> 00:03:27,62
him as

45
00:03:27,63 --> 00:03:33,42
a person too and Martin gives him high marks
there what impresses me most about him

46
00:03:33,71 --> 00:03:39,47
even then but now it when you talk about
growth is the maturity and the young man

47
00:03:39,48 --> 00:03:45,89
that he's becoming. He's humble
he's a he's a great leader and he's

48
00:03:45,90 --> 00:03:50,64
a fierce competitor and he is able
to kind of harness all that into

49
00:03:50,65 --> 00:03:55,87
a way where people respect that Rex coaches
admit there was some sentiment to move

50
00:03:55,88 --> 00:03:59,71
David Roddy to another position because
of his size when he first came into the.

51
00:04:00,77 --> 00:04:04,35
Those days are long gone and the Mustang's
leaders have no doubt he can be

52
00:04:04,36 --> 00:04:07,71
a great deal one college player
if he chooses to we've had

53
00:04:07,72 --> 00:04:14,63
a few here. In my time the most recent
being remodeled and you know when once you

54
00:04:14,64 --> 00:04:21,47
see one or two of those guys you know they
look back and you know when we saw David

55
00:04:21,48 --> 00:04:23,73
out on the field it took about
ten minutes of watching

56
00:04:23,74 --> 00:04:29,28
a movie or on their freshman year to say
we got something special in our hands and

57
00:04:30,25 --> 00:04:34,64
so yeah I think I think
he's certainly. A D.

58
00:04:34,65 --> 00:04:41,61
One athlete for sure. Is averaging two
hundred twenty five yards passing per game

59
00:04:41,62 --> 00:04:44,18
and fourteen touchdown passes this fall.
